We never have very many prisoners, so there's nothing much to say other than any enemy who ****s with our prisoners will pay for it many times over. We are the ones who are in a position to dictate when, where, why, how and how much.

Yeah, the Vietnamese sure realized that.

No, wait.. they kicked your ass.

1. I don't feel this is a legitimate issue to attack Bush on... the media is calling this a scandal and talking about Rumsfeld being fired... but as much as I love to attack Bush, it's not his fault some dumbass, white-trash National guard dip****s were abusing prisoners. They are the one's at fault, not Bush.

Bush is the commander in chief. If he wants to go invade other countries, he should see that his army is adequate in manpower, funding, support and discipline to carry out the task.

2. This is just the kind of thing that is going to bring a smile to Osama bin Laden's face. He wants the moderates in the Islamic world to become further fed up with America so that they move closer to his cause. People who read books (those paper things with words) and are informed about MidEast geopolitical affairs understand this. Dopes who aren't informed... well... don't understand this.

(a) If OBL is even still alive. Those mystery radio messages always seem to come at convenient times and have little real relevance.

(b) The ignorant peasants want Islamism, but those who hold secular and economic power do not in the least. There is a lot more to the ME than a bipolar view of either being with the US or with the terrorists.

No, we stacked 'em a mile high, but lost interest in the game. They're still a backwards little ****hole.

Nice try.

Anyway, has anyone here noticed the parallels between the fact that most of the "guards" seem to come from Butthole in the Middle of Nowhere and the classic movie Deliverance?

But the ignorant peasants are clearly in the majority, same as everywhere.

Someone made a quip earlier, asking if this was how guards acted at federal prisons in virgninia (where one of the offenders used to work) Curious, I did a google and got 2 different cases of beatings and rapes on the first page. With some of the scenes described being pretty much identical to what's been done in Iraq.

yes... but I'm not about to write an essay about MidEast demographics and politics.

I'll enlighten those who don't already know it that you're one.

Enemy combatants who are actively resisting us are *******s, and get exactly what they deserve, but lawful combatant prisoners in our custody deserve treatment in strict compliace with the Geneva Convention and other applicable treaties and standards of treatment. Unlawful combatant prisoners deserve the minimum standard of treatment required under applicable law until their cases are disposed of according to the UCMJ.

Those guards, if proven guilty, should receive the maximum sentences for each offence convicted, and any senior NCO's and officers above them responsible for conditions at that facility should also be severely punished.

You are total wrong on this you human right criminal you under arrest for human right assue and you arenot than human being anymore withg anby right all. We are assueing muslum prinsor in america inclueing the one who lead the fight against the evil secrect evidence law the Zionist force on the america government.

perhaps the U.S. military should be disbanded.

My idear also disband the military, the FBI and CIA along with all federal law enforcement we would save 500 to 600 billion ayear on the federal budget.

The latest excuse they are now saying is I was okey order. The War Crime Trial after WWII clearly estra as legal principion that following order is no defense against war crime charge. YOU ARE SUPPOSE to DISOKEY JUST ORDER.

There are people in EL PASO who want to pass than law to make it illegal for any military person from Fort Bliss to enter the city of El Paso for any reason at all without heavy armed police guard to make sure they donot mistreat the people of El Paso the same way.

And seriously if those humiliated by US soldiers are terrorists US soldiers behaved almost right. The only wrong thing was a camera and US soldiers must be punished for filming, not for humiliating.

And why did US soldiers say that they did so? They'd better say that the photoes are fake and photoshoped.

Only than criminal Zionist would say than dumb thing like this. Saying the photoes are fake wouldnot work beacuase I wouldnot believe any just thing.

I'm not sure how this relates, but the current drudge headline with no link reads in huge bold print:

NYT: PHOTOS SHOW AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVING SEX WITH ONE ANOTHER


?

stay tuned

edit: more, but not much new

Pentagon possesses three disks of photos, one of which includes some brief video clips. Many of the photos are redundant, and some have little to do with Iraqi detainees but show sex between U.S. soldiers... Pentagon officials prevailed at least temporarily in their insistence that the administration not immediately release the images, which include the forced masturbation of a detainee...

Who cares if soldiers have sex with each other?

The military probably does if it's same sex.


But I agree, soldiers having sex with each other is pretty much a non-issue when they've been raping children.

Apparently Matt Drudge, the New York Times, whomever sent the tapes to whereever, and probably the pentagon.

And I would've thought getting laid would've killed some of the agression, but I guess there's plenty to go around.
